But contest for the Fatehpur Sikri general seat has turned interesting because the fight is between actor-turned politician and UP Congress chief Raj Babbar and BJP leader Raj Kumar Chahar. The elections will be held on April 18. Raj Babbar was an MP from Agra seat when it was a general category seat.

Raj Babbar, who is considered to be close to Congress president Rahul Gandhi, is contesting from Fatehpur Sikri for a second time. He was defeated by BSP's Seema Upadhyay. Seeing Raj Babbar's method of working, Rahul Gandhi gave him the command of Uttar Pradesh.

Raj Babbar was first nominated from Moradabad for the 2019 elections. But on the insistence of Babbar's supporters, he got a ticket from Fatehpur Sikri.

Given his post in Congress, it is necessary for Babbar to win this seat. Raj Babbar wants to send out a message that the people of Agra love him just as much now as they did before.

"My fight is not with Raj Kumar Chahar but with Narendra Modi because this is a VIP seat for Modi. Chahar contested three assembly elections from Sikri and lost all three," Raj Babbar told India Today.

Chahar was heartbroken after losing three elections. This year, the BJP has given him the opportunity to shine once again by giving him a ticket.

The attention of the entire Braj region is fixed on Chahar and Babbar. This is the reason why people of Agra division have taken an interest in the Sikri seat rather than the Agra ones.

"If we talk about Fatehpur Sikri then it will be interesting to see which of these two candidates leave their magic on Sikri's people. As we all know, Raj Kumar Chahar has fought for the MLA seat thrice. Unfortunately, he was defeated every time. He doesn't have any experience in MP elections. We don't know why BJP leaders have choosen Raj Kumar Chahar for the Sikri MP seat. On the other hand Raj Babbar is a famous face not only in Braj region but all over India. He has been an MP for Agra and Firozabad seat. The interesting thing is that people of Braj and Babbar's supporters advised him to fight from Sikri seat," social activist Yogesh Malhotra told India Today.
